JWideman:Phinn: The LAPD is so generous (with taxpayer money), they should probably rename their organization to something more appropriate.

Like the "Ministry of Love."

Anyway, one of the loose ends in this sordid tale is that the LAPD still has Teresa "Chupacabra" Evans to deal with. They can't find her retroactively guilty and fire her, because that would validate the actions of the crazy-man Dorners. And they can't keep her around on patrol while she continues to kick people in the chest, crack skulls and flay the skin off of people.

So, really, the only two options for the LAPD at this point are to either kill her (like she's some kind of Asian newspaper thrower or something), or promote her. She'll probably end up with a desk job with a fat pension where she can't sadistically torture citizens quite as frequently as she does these days.

Or they could just do to her what they do to the few good cops that report the bad cops: send her on violent crime in progress calls and when she calls for backup, nobody is available.

LordJiro: If NOTHING else, the cops should be fired and arrested for opening fire without warning on ANYONE. Their desperation to kill Dorner only serves to convince people that hey, there might be something to Dorner's claims about the LAPD.

/Don't think Dorner is a hero or any bullshiat like that. The moment he decided to murder people, he became a bad guy too.//LAPD needs a serious enema.

I see it as someone who has a shield to hide behind and suddenly some punched it through, showing how paper thin it really is and is now panicking at how vulnerable they really are.orI'm just misreading the situation

Have no doubt, I believe LAPD, like most pd's need to clean their house regularly

ha-ha-guy:Lost Thought 00: By accepting the truck, they will be waiving their right to sue the department for any further damages, with the courts saying that the truck is sufficient compensation

The women have a lawyer. Unless this lawyer is like Quan and purposefully sandbagging cases to protect LAPD, no way he'll let them accept the truck.

You're both wrong. Lawyer has stated that truck does not preclude lawsuit, establishing claim to further compensation.

If you accept partial payment on a debt, that doesn't extinguish your claim to more unless you sign a contract to such effect.

Contrary to urban myth, writing "payment in full' on a check's memo field doesn't mean squat even if the creditor endorses and cashes the check. A contract must be formed in "good faith," and this stunt is a classic example of bad faith. The creditor gets your partial payment and you still owe the balance.

StokeyBob:Police seeking Dorner opened fire in a second case of mistaken identity

pyrotek85:Girion47: I'm curious if the women fired back, how would they be viewed? Probably as cop killers, and be charged with something. Even if they were returning fire against a hostile force that initially assaulted them.

BraveNewCheneyWorld: DS1970: Yes, my firearms are protecting me not even primarily from criminals, but from the "serve and protect" SS who constantly abuse their badges and are just plain - sloppy. Like this incident.

If cops shoot you thinking you're someone else, and you do manage to shoot them in self defense, you're getting executed anyway, which is nice.

Yeah you're pretty much screwed if you fire back. Same deal if they do a swat raid on the wrong house.

Indiana First State to Allow Citizens to Shoot Law Enforcement OfficersWhy yes, all the blue knickers are hopelessly knotted.

Ah yes, I remember someplace was making a law like that. It's a good step for cases of abuse, but in practice you're probably still going to get shot, and they may even plant evidence to bolster their side of the story.

Promote her to captain; that will get her off the streets.

handcuffs and prison would work much better.

Never gonna happen.

They'll re-exonerate her, and then either move her to some unimportant desk job, or assign her to the most dangerous task force in the department, where she will meet an untimely death at the hands of persons unknown, to then be remembered as a glorious fallen hero.

The "innocent family members" he has allegedly killed are cops. And was heavily reported that way initially, until they LAPD pr machine started referring to their other side professions and hiding their cop-ness.

Its kind of funny how that fact has been completely glossed over durring the evolution of this story. You have to be paying attention and check a few sources but you can find it if you dig around enough. Both the daughter and the fiance, both cops. This wasn't some teenage heartthrob and her quarterback boyfriend.

The propaganda machine has been running on overtime throughout ALL of this and it has been amazing to watch. I honestly cant tell the difference between the paid opinion swayers posting here and the usual trolling.

I can't find anything stating that Randy Quan's daughter, Monica is a police officer or her finace Kieth Lawrence.The only info I can find states that Monica Quan was an assistant coach for Cal State Fullerton women's basketball team and Keith Lawrence was an USC security officer.

From Dorner's manifesto "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours. Quan, ..., and BOR members Look your wives/husbands and surviving children directly in the face and tell them the truth as to why your children are dead," the manifesto read, in part. "

It seems that Monica Quan was killed because Randy Quan did not do a good enough job before the hearing to keep Dorner on the force and Kieth Lawrence may have been killed because of wrong place/wrong time

I hope one of the LAPD cops doesn't rat out his fellow cops for excessive force for this, leading to his dismissal, leading to his murderous rampage of revenge five years later, which leads to LAPD cops shooting up another innocent person, which leads another cop to rat out his partners for excessive force ... and the cycle just keeps going
